Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen says his goals have shut his critics up, as he admits his career motivation is about proving people wrong.<\/p>\n
The Napoli hitman is now regarded among the world’s best strikers.<\/p>\n
But he recalled to Kortyeo: “When I arrived at Napoli there were people who said that I wouldn’t have scored even 4 goals because Serie A is very physical. And it’s like that but… When you tell me I can’t do something, even if I don’t know how to do it, I want to learn and challenge those people.<\/p>\n
“Those who said certain things are now hiding.<\/p>\n
“For me, Maradona is the greatest of all time, no one else will ever be able to do something comparable in Naples.”<\/p>\n
On his serious facial injury, Osimhen added: “It was against Inter, the ball was arriving and I wanted to take it, the defender hit my face with his head and they had to operate on me. It was almost a fatal injury, I thank God that I’m still alive.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
